The Reason
by Keith Lancaster

Album: Lancaster Long Play

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

I'm an average man there's nothing special 'bout me
But I'm content with my life there's not much that I need
I've got a wonderful wife and a wonderful home
But above all else I've found someone who calls me His own

Chorus 1:
He's the reason I laugh and the reason I cry
He's the reason I have what it takes to get by
He's the reason I live and the reason I died
He's the reason for the hope that I have right here inside

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na

As I walk through this world I keep my head up high
But many people see me, it keeps them wondering why
In a world full of pain they wonder how I can smile
They don't know that I'm only visiting here for a little while

Repeat Chorus 1

Na na na na na na (let me tell you 'bout the reason)
Na na na na na na (He's the reason in my life)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na (He's the reason for the hope that I keep here inside)

So I'm living at ease, in fact I'm living carefree
Not that I don't have doubts, it's just that I've got real peace
So I hope you can see it's made a change in my life
All because I know the one that they call Jesus Christ

Chorus 2:
He's the reason I laugh (He's the reason I laugh) and the reason I cry (and the reason I cry)
He's the reason I have what it takes to get by (He's the reason that I get by)
He's the reason I live (He's the reason I live) and the reason I died (and I die)
He's the reason for the hope that I keep right here inside (He's the reason, all of the hope in me)

Bridge:
You don't have to be worried at all (don't have to be worried)
Stop looking for the hammer to fall
You can leave it behind if you're calling on Him (call on Jesus)
It's amazing what the change will bring
When you learn that death has no sting (death has no sting)
And your heart has been delivered from every sin

Repeat Chorus 1

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na (x8 with stepouts)
